Why study Government at the LSE?
The LSE is a specialist school in the social sciences of which political science is the oldest component. The full title of the School is the London School of Economics and Political Science. The LSE is undoubtedly a world leader in its field. The Department is one of the largest in the UK and offers students at the graduate level an unrivalled choice of subjects in their various degrees taught by some of the very best known academics in their field. Our situation in London gives students opportunities to participate in political discussion on a scale difficult to find elsewhere. There is much interest shown in politics by most of our students and LSE is a Mecca for leading politicians, public figures and visiting academics. In both practical and theoretical terms LSE offers the student a complete experience of politics.
